IMPROVEMENT m BALE-TIE MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 177,221, dated May 9, 1876; application filed December 27, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

' Be it known that 1, PETER K. DEDERIOK, of Albany, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Machine for Making Bale-Ties; and

' I do hereby declare the following to be a full,

clear, and exact description of the same, ref

erence being had to the accompanying drawin s formin part of this s )GClfiOfitlOll in 7 g l 2 which- Figure I is a perspective viewof my machine. Fig. 2 is a view of the tie after it has been acted upon by the bending disks and preparatory to manipulation by the twisting devices; and Fig. 3 is a view of the completed tie.

Similar letters of .referenee in the accom-' In the drawings, A A represent the bend-.

ing-disks secured to the base-plates B B by means of pins or posts (3 G, on which they are free to rotate. Each disk is provided with an operating handle, a, and a right-angled shoulder, a. The wire of which the tie is to be formed is placed between the shoulder a a and the posts'O O, with its end abutting against a stop, D, and is then cut oh the de- 'locking end of the tie.

sired length by a pair of cutting-jaws, E E.

The disks A are next rotated, leaving the wire' bent in the form shown in Fig. 2. The wire is then removed from the disk and its end t is placed over a hook, F, and the body of the tie and the bent end of the same clamped by jaws G G, while the hook]? is rotated, thus twisting the endand forming the completed loop t. The opposite end t of the tie is inserted in a bifurcated hook, H, and thefree end clamped in a pair of jaws, G G, while the bifurcated hook H is rotated,,thus forming the The .two wires which form the locking end are then closed together in the outer end of the jaws G G, and the tie is complete.

It will be seen that both of the ends of the tie can be formed simultaneously and in a very rapid manner.

I claim as my invention- 1. The bending-disks A, having the shoul ders a and adapted to rotate .on the posts (3,

substantially as described, for they purpose 2. The bending-disks A, in combination with the stop D, and cutting-jaws E E, substantially as described, for the purpose specified.

3. The rotating hook F, in combination with the clamping-jaws G G, substantially as described.

4. The bifurcated hook H, combined with the clamping-jaws G G, substantiallyv as de- P. K. DEDERIGK.
